That square box that is dangling loose....is the flasher unit of the turn signals.

The white box? The piece connecting my tank to my frame is not budging. It is cracked along the casing so i am assuming something was wedged in there for leverage. I cannot get it to budge even a little and it is not completely seated within the box.

I usually disconnect the cable 1st.

just rotate the bellcrank and the cable will loop out, grab it and slide the cable end out.

The throttle cable clip is on the bracket, and it holds the cable in place.  Most are lost the very first time the cable is removed....and most likely your was gone long before you go the bike.  No sweat....they work fine without, and you can't order one anyhow.

Thanks guys.
Finding that I'm resorting to habits my mom broke long ago-like asking for help before thoroughly researching things myself.
I posted the link, in the case someone comes across this post for future reference.

Success!!
I bent the rubber guards down and wiggled it out bc i wasn't feeling pulling the battery box and the top was not budging. It took a little elbow grease but I pulled the carb. I am soaking the bolts on top w penetrating oil and will clean it up tonight/tmrw.

I had a "duh!" moment the first time I removed the throttle cable. My clip also disappeared somewhere. I don't trust it not being attached so I bent a paper clip to fit.

Guys...
I just had an epiphany moment that I will prob use as a tale of caution and shame when I am older.

So, I decided to pull out the old carb and start taking it apart in prep for tmrw's work. Le sigh. I realized one of the four screws on top is completely stripped. *Sighing even heavier* And then I realized, when he was pointing to the (carb )assembly piece on the diagphram, he was telling me the screw was stripped and to replace the ENTIRE CARBURETOR bc he could not remove it.
Ha.
Metal can be warped with heat. I, who have never held a drill til this wk know that.
I was had! I got got! Catfished, as it were.
The end.
Now to brainstorm ways to remove this bolt.
@justin_o_guy2
This was the piece that was stripped and the reason my carb needed to be replaced. It was prob never cleaned and solely judging by the looks of the bolts on the newer one and how rigid, I'm not sure they've been removed. So, @verslagen1 I may not have had a thorough carb cleaning either.  Undecided Huh

Jet,

A small quality Vice Grip pliers will work really well to remove the top screws. If you have a soldering iron put the tip on the head of the screw for a minute or two before twisting with the pliers.

Screw on the top?
Head exposed?
Grab it with a vice grip and twist it

Lock it down tight so the Vise Grips don't just slide around the head of the bolt.

Use Allen head screws as replacements (preferably stainless).  Wink
